Kavi Mailing List Manager Help
Table of Contents
The Log Report tool is used to generate a report that shows when subscribers are added or removed from a mailing list. The information in the report is derived from records of events captured in the ezmlm automated subscription logs. Because these logs are controlled by the mailing list itself, they do not show who initiated the subscription (whether by a user or an administrator) but they do show whether the subscription change was initiated through the Web site or by email.
Note
More subscriber log information may be available in the ezmlm logs, which can be retrieved by administrators.
For more information on ezmlm logs, visit the ezmlm site at www.ezmlm.org.
